Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will be released to the public on May 24, 2024, just in time for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, satisfying the expectations of the franchise’s many devoted followers. The latest part in the series is now under production in Australia.
Owen Teague (It) stars as the main character, while Freya Allan (The Witcher) co-stars alongside him. Also included are Peter Macon (The Orville), Eka Darville (JessicaJones), and Kevin Durand (Locke and Key). The film is to be directed by Wes Ball (Maze Trilogy, Divergent) and written by Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, and Patrick Aison.
Jaffa and Silver, together with Joe Hartwick Jr. and JasonReed, serve as producers in addition to creating the film’s script. In addition to Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping, there are a number of other producers linked to the picture in various capacities. Though details about the film are still sketchy, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will add a new chapter to the franchise by taking place a long time after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes.
While principal filming has begun in Disney Studios Australia, the film’s plot has remained under wraps. As the film’s release date draws closer, more details will certainly be unveiled.
Since its inception in 1968, the Planet of the Apes series has undergone many re-imaginings and reboots. The most recent of them is the trilogy that began with Rise of the Planet of the Apes and stars Andy Serkis as Caesar, the apes’ cerebral leader. War for the Planet of the Apes was the dramatic climax to the trilogy, and it was left off with Caesar dead and mankind on the verge of extinction. Because of the impending release of a new film, “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” may breathe new life into the series while still introducing viewers to the same planet they met in the first film.
Now that production on a new film has begun, fans may look forward to seeing the beginning of a new era in the franchise, which may explore the lingering influence of Caesar’s legacy on the apes when it premieres in 2024. On May 24 of that year (2024), you may see the movie Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes in cinemas.
